1 Message from the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer To: All Shareholders First of all, on behalf of the highest Executives of the Company, we would like to make an apology to all our shareholders that the sales figure in 2013 did not meet the planned target. The main causes were analyzed into three parts as follows: 1. Competitive Situation: The entry of competitors in the “Home Shopping” business. Even though preparations had been made to cope well with the situation but it had to be admitted that the knowhow of both Korean number one and two resulted in direct impact towards the Company’s sales figure. From the whole picture, even though the Company’s existing market had not been penetrated but new market had been created without our participation in this new market at all, and the additional market value created by these two companies was estimated to be about Baht 1,000 million. 2. Economic Situation: Consumers’ spending power and temperament started to decline since the middle of 2013, and importantly, the decline in spending power happened in both Bangkok and the provinces. In the past, Bangkok would be the variable factor while the provinces would be more certain due to their wide area and number of customers. The Company analyzed this as being the rapid expansion of the real estate property, condominium, the 1st car policy, and weather conditions. Hence, overall GDP growth was at 4% level instead of the targeted 5.5%. 3. Human Resource Management System: In 2012, our work processes were adjusted and improved to generate more consistent and coordination but people management had been neglected. With incomplete and non-compact enough human resource development system, the experienced call center team had been recruited by other firm. Even though problem had been solved very quickly by recruiting the replacement but training process for employees to be competent with their works did not result in the satisfactory manner. The Company, then, realized that its human resource development plan was not good enough and decided to hire a consultant firm, “Aon Hewitt” to help build the new human resource development system. The process started from salary structure to the successor process which was completed within 7 months as planned. Thus, in the 4th quarter of 2013, the Company expenses for consultant fee as well as training courses for nearly 1,500 persons was nearly at Baht 21 million. This resulted in less profit in 2013 than in 2012, but the Company believed that this investment would result in operating results of 2014 to be accordance with plan. However, important events in each quarter were listed for acknowledgement to all shareholders as follows: 1st quarter The Company registered good sales and operating results as a continuation from 2012 in the 1st quarter Even though total earning of each employee was higher than the minimum wage but interpretation on various other incomes would be counted into the minimum wage or not ? As the Company emphasized on the operating performance, income was paid in the low range while commission would be paid higher than normal in order to generate strong primary efficiency. However, in order to have successful transition, the Company had adjusted the minimum wage to Baht 9,000 to be in line with the law. 2nd quarter In this 2nd quarter, sales lowered a little but still maintain level of the net profit The Company issued and offered new ordinary shares for capital increase of registered shares of 94,000,000 shares at par value of 0.50 Baht to original shareholders with right offering at 4 original ordinary shares to 1 new ordinary share at par value of 4.50 Baht The Company offered total shares of 93,999,992 shares and cash received from share offering was Baht 422,999,964. During the end of quarter, the call center team had been recruited by other firm resulting in the Company’s sales figure was not as planned. 3rd quarter From losing the call center team in the 2nd quarter, the Company tried to correct the situation but to no avail. The Company, then, decided to hire a human resource management consultant firm, Aon Hewitt, to help build the new human resource system from salary planning to the successor plan. 2 TV Direct Public Company Limited 3 Hence. From July onwards, over 1,500 personnel of more than 10 groups, had been externally trained in order to build the long term organization commitment. 4th quarter The Company’s revenue was similar to the 3rd quarter but suffered loss in October from the following causes: 1) The Company decided to use “One Price Policy” in all of the sales channels, thus, creating shock in the first operating period and resulted in the lowest sales during the past 3 years and also resulted in loss in October 2013 at more than Baht 10 million. 2) Investment in human resource management system was approximately at Baht 21 million for hiring consultant and training for employees. However, later in November and December, the Company was able to generate highest sales during the past 3 years as well. This could be stated that the decision to step backward 2 steps delivered good result later on. On the corporate social responsibilities the Company still continuously emphasizes in social activities in conjunction with business operations. The Company continuously engages in social and education activities whether in the “A Drop of Blood for Life” project, or “Cooperative Education Project” project, with philosophy and believes that “If we take care of society, society will take care of us”. The Company has inserted this as obligation of the Company in order to build continuously as our planning and guideline with emphasizing on result. Concerning good corporate governance, even though the Company has been registered in the MAI stock market recently, the Company realizes that the guiding principles on good corporate governance of registered company in the Stock Exchange of Thailand are important and has good standard. With the commitment and willingness in management with transparency and good corporate governance, the Company has been evaluated on the corporate governance of the registered company in 2013 with “Good” level from the “Thai Institute of Directors” since its first year after registration in the stock market. The Company will be continuously committee in promoting and developing the good corporate governance as always. The Company’s Board of Directors stipulates policy on good corporate governance in writing, and considers to review the good corporate governance and manual on ethics for the Company and its subsidiaries and to follow up on reviewing the policy every year and publishes these in the Company’s website. The Company realizes the importance of all stakeholders’ rights whether internal stakeholders such as employees, and the Company’s management, or external stakeholders such as customers, trade partners, competitors, creditors, Government agencies, communities, and all related parties. The Company realizes that supports from various stakeholders will create competition, and build profit for the Company which can be considered as long term success for the Company. From all the above that has been presented, the Company encounters many obstacles but the most important is that we has been through together fairly well at the end. This is from cooperation from employees, management, Directors of all committees, and all shareholders that understand and support us all along. The Directors’ teams and management still have determination and commitment to drive us forward towards the next year. On behalf of the Company’s Board of Directors, we would like to show our appreciations to all shareholders, investors, customers, business allies, Government agencies, and benefactors who have confident, and support us all along. The most important of all is the employees who dedicate their bodies and minds together in moving our organization forward strongly and consistently even in difficult times. The Company will still emphasize on operating its business under the concept “Entertaining People with Information” with transparency and adhering to good corporate governance together with social responsibility, and hoping that the Company will grow and move forward, and generate good returns to all shareholders similar to trusts given to the Company. 4 Mr. Phongsuree Bunnag Chairman of the Board TV Direct Public Company Limited Mr. Songpol Shanmatkit Chief Executive Officer 5 6 TV Direct Public Company Limited 7 8 TV Direct Public Company Limited -Master degree in Master Mr. Phongsuree Bunnag GIBA (SASIN) (Authorized Signatory) Nomination and Company Limited President – Human Resources -Training in Director Accreditation Program (DAP) class 90/2011.

This was due to damage from the office fire in October as more products were ordered as replacement and during the year end when the Company had made preparation on increasing products in order to serve for sufficient sales plan. Account receivables and other receivables increased to Baht 9.13 million. Moreover, the Company and subsidiaries had net cash flow for investment activities at Baht 125.98 million which was mainly from payment of fixed assets amounted to Baht 88.81 million. The main items were from construction of the new office building approximately at Baht 65.32 million (project valued at Baht 100 million), investment for infrastructure plan of the 2nd studio about Baht 4.34 million, improvement for the basement level of the head office about Baht 1.60 million, and the TV Direct Showcase showroom decoration at Baht 1.40 million while the second part was for investment in subsidiaries at Baht 27.20 million. Additionally, the Company and subsidiaries had net cash flows receiving from the financing activities at Baht 136.68 million by consisting of net cash received on short term loan from the financial institution at Baht 39.50 million, net cash received on long term loan from the financial institution at Baht 20.99 million, net cash received from increasing ordinary share capital at Baht 120.246 million, and dividend payment to ordinary shareholders at Baht 50.53 million. Hence, these activities resulted in increased in cash and cash equivalent to the amount of Baht 6.38 million. In 2013, the Company and subsidiaries had net cash flow for operating activities of Baht 48.86 million which was mainly due to profit from operations before changes in operating assets and liabilities at Baht 138.87 million. Account receivables and other receivables decreased to amount of Baht 23.21 million even though inventory had increased to Baht 50.57 million. This was to make preparation for additional products to be sufficient enough for sales plan in the early 2014. Moreover, the Company and subsidiaries had net cash flow spent in the investing activities at Baht 228.27 million which was mainly from purchasing of fixed assets at Baht 100.46 million. The main items were the construction of the new office about Baht 100 million for the call center and products procurement office. This also included cash received from registration of the ordinary share capital for investing in marketable securities at Baht 197.20 million. Moreover, the Company and subsidiaries had received net cash flow from financing activities at the amount of Baht 269.59 million which consisted of the net cash received on short term loan from financial institution at Baht 128.91 million, net cash received on long term loan at Baht 36.87 million, net cash received from the ordinary shares increased at Baht 423 million, and cash dividend payment for ordinary shares of Baht 70.36 million. Hence, from these causes, the Company and subsidiaries, in 2013, had increasing cash and cash equivalent at amount of Baht 79.13 million. Liquidity Ratio At the end of 2012 - 2013, the Company and subsidiaries had liquidity ratio of 0.99 times and 1.53 time respectively, and quick liquidity ratio was equal to 0.14 time and 0.46 time respectively. The cause that had made much different between the quick liquidity ratio and the liquidity ratio was because the Company and subsidiaries had high inventory ratio versus current asset ratio at the rate of 63.90 % and 61.46 % respectively. The important reasons that the liquidity ratio and quick liquidity ratio had an increasing trend because part of the cash received from capital increase registration was used for payments of bank overdraft and for short term loan from financial institution in order to reduce the financial cost. However, the Company had never encountered problems on liquidity and payment on current liabilities. Consideration on the cash cycle showed increasing trend, as the Company and subsidiaries had cash cycle at 61.52 days in 2012, and 84.45 days in 2012. Increasing duration of cash cycle was from the following: (1) The average debt collection equalled to 9.00 days in 2012 and equalled to 13.05 days in 2013. (2) The average sale duration of the Company and subsidiaries in 2012 was 118.18 days, and equalled to 146.79 days in 2013. 112 20122013 Liquidity ratio (time) 0.99 1.53 Quick Liquidity Ratio (time) 0.14 0.46 Average Collection Period (day) 9.00 13.05 Product Sale Duration (day) 118.18 146.79 Debt Payment Period (day) 65.66 75.39 Cash Cycle (day) 61.52 84.45 TV Direct Public Company Limited 113 (c) Sources of Funds Liabilities At the end of 2012 - 2013, the Company and subsidiaries total liabilities amounted to Baht 663.475 million and Baht 552.88 million respectively. Consideration on the liabilities structure of the Company and subsidiaries showed that most liabilities were the current liabilities for normal business operations which had proportional ratio against total liabilities at 88.37 % at the end of 2012, and at 81.06 at the end of 2013. Important current liabilities consisted of short term loans from financial institutions at 38.58 % of total liabilities at the end of 2012, and at 22.98 % of total liabilities at the end of 2013 which came mainly from the promissory note and LC/TR for ordering domestic and foreign products. Moreover, current liabilities also included account payables and other liabilities were at 44.60 % of total liabilities at the end of 2012, and at 49.73 % of total liabilities at the end of 2013. Hence, total liabilities of the Company and subsidiaries decreased as most liabilities of the Company were from trade account payables and other payables, overdraft and short term loan from financial institution as stated above. Important liabilities had the following details: - At the end of 2012 - 2013, the Company and subsidiaries had account payables amounted to Baht 189.72 million and Baht 179.21 million respectively with average debt payment period at 65.66 days and 75.39 days respectively. The reason that account payables decreased were from the result of decreasing in purchasing finished products comparing to sales volume in 2012 that had to be ordered in anticipation with products loss due to fire in October 2012. - At the end of 2012 - 2013, the Company and subsidiaries had bank overdraft and short term loan from financial institutions at the amount of Baht 255.97 million, and Baht 127.06 million respectively, with the following details: (unit : Million Baht) At Dec. 31, 2012 At Dec. 31, 2013 Bank Overdraft 1.66 - Promissory Note 87.22 3.89 Trust Receipt 167.09 123.17 Total255.97 127.06 At the end of 2012 - 2013, the Company and subsidiaries had remaining liabilities on the type of long term loan of Baht 72.39 million, and Baht 116.36 million respectively. As at December 31, 2013, the Company had long term loans from 3 financial institutions as follows: (1) In February 17, 2011, the Company had entered into the long term loan contract with a commercial bank for the amount of Baht 15 million for investment in new studio, and purchasing of machines and equipment for its operations. As at March 31, 2012, the remaining loan contract was at Baht 7.81 million in which the Company had mortgaged its land with constructed building including Directors who had joined in to guarantee debt in full. Moreover, the Company wanted to protect its debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) to be not lower than 2 to 1 time, and debt to equity ratio of not more than 2.5 to 1 time for the financial statement at the end of fiscal year 2011, and not more than 2 to 1 time for the financial statement at the end of fiscal year 2012, and in later years. As at December 31, 2013, the Company had already made full payments as per loan agreements. (2) In December 8, 2011, the Company had entered into the long term loan contract with a commercial bank for the amount of Baht 40 million for investment in purchasing of land with constructed building for its new head office. As at March 31, 2012, the remaining loan contract was at Baht 39.95 million in which the Company had mortgaged its land. Moreover, the Company wanted to protect its debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) to be not lower than 1.5 to 1 time, and debt to equity ratio of not more than 2.0 to 1 time for the financial statement at the end of fiscal year 2012, and not more than 1.75 to 1 time for the financial statement at the end of fiscal year 2013 until complete debt payment (hence, the ratio of liabilities to capital would not be equal to zero). As at December 31, 2013, the loan commitments as per the loan contracts had outstanding amount of Baht 24.18 million. (3) In March 1, 2012, the Company had entered into the long term loan contract with a commercial bank for the amount of Baht 100 million for investment in land with building for its new head office building using land and its building structure as collaterals. 114 TV Direct Public Company Limited 115 In December 31, 2012 and at December 31, 2013, the Company had DSCR ratio and debt to equity ratio as follows: DSCR*Debt to Equity Ratio ** Dec. 31, 2012 Dec. 31, 2113 Dec. 31, 2012 Dec. 31, 2113 Financial Statement 6.81 time 6.37 time 1.65 time 0.66 time 5.25 time 4.01 time 1.94 time 0.75 time Not less than Not less than Not over 2 time Not over 2 time 2 time 2 time of the Company Consolidated Financial Statement Term of Loan Remark: 1) DSCR was calculated from profit before depreciation, financing cost, and income tax / long term loan with due date of one year from previous year + interest paid. 2) Debt to equity ratio calculated from total liabilities / shareholders’ equity. This showed that the Company was able to keep the debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) as specified in the loan contracts as in the table above. As at December 31, 2012, the debt to equity ratio calculated from financial statements of the Company and the consolidated financial statements of the Company and subsidiaries were equal to 1.66 times and 1.94 times respectively. Moreover, as at December 31, 2013, the debt to equity ratio calculated from financial statements of the Company and the consolidated financial statements of the Company and subsidiaries were at 0.66 times and 0.75 times respectively which were twice lower than specified in the contract. Shareholders’ Equity At the end of 2012, the Company and subsidiaries showed the shareholders’ equity at Baht 338.23 million, an increase amount of Baht 99.88 million from 2011. This was due from the Company’s registration in the Stock Exchange of Thailand by initial public offering (IPO) in August 23, 2012 with additional ordinary shares of amount Baht 28.96 million and received premium on common stocks at amount Baht 89.06 million, and with annual profit of Baht 48.97 million while the dividend payment for ordinary shareholders was at Baht 18.80 million. At the end of 2013, the Company and subsidiaries showed the shareholders’ equity at Baht 742.07 million, an increase amount of Baht 403.84 million from 2012. As in July 10, 2013, the Company received additional payment on ordinary shares at amount Baht 47.00 million and premium on common stocks at amount Baht 376.00 million while the fiscal year profit was Baht 41.21 million, and dividend payment for ordinary shares was at Baht 70.50 million. Adequacy of the Capital Structure The Company and subsidiaries had the debt to equity ratio at 1.53 times at the end of 2010, at 2.26 times at the end of 2011. Reason for the constant rising of debt to equity ratio was from the continuous business expansion from sales and services’ revenues. The Company had to purchase additional finished products to serve growth in sales revenue by using short term loan from commercial bank in the forms of promissory note an LC/TR. Moreover, the Company had invested in expansion of office building to serve business expansion in various business functions, thus, generated some additional long term loan. As at December 31, 2012 and 2013, the Company and subsidiaries had debt to equity ratio at 1.94 times and 0.75 times respectively which was from the decrease in liabilities and increase in the shareholders’ equity as explained in the liabilities and shareholders’ equity topic.

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. 120 TV Direct Public Company Limited 121 I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my audit opinion.

The consolidated and company financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention except available-for-sale investments and employee benefit obligations as disclosed in the accounting policies below. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Thai generally accepted accounting principles requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated and company financial statements are disclosed in Note 4. An English version of the consolidated and company financial statements have been prepared from the statutory financial statements that are in the Thai language. In the event of a conflict or a difference in interpretation between the two languages, the Thai language statutory financial statements shall prevail. 2.2 New accounting standards, new financial reporting standards and interpretations and amendments to new accounting standards and new financial reporting standards. New accounting standard, new financial reporting standards and amendment to accounting standard which are effective for the period beginning on or after 1 January 2013 and are relevant and have an impact to the Group are as follows: TAS 12 TAS 21(Revised 2009) TFRS 8 Income Taxes The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates Operating Segments TAS 12 requires tax expenses to be recognised for current and deferred tax. New accounting policy of income taxes is provided in Note 2.14 and the significant impact to the Group is described in Note 6. 132 TAS 21(Revised 2009) requires the Group to determine the functional currency which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The Group assessed and concluded that Thai Baht is the Group’s functional currency. As a consequence, applying TAS 21 (Revised 2009) has no impact to assets, liabilities and retained earnings. New accounting policy is are described in Note 2.4. TFRS 8 requires the operating segment to be described in the same manner as internal reporting used by the chief operating decision-maker. New accounting policy is are described in Note 2.22. The impact to the Group in applying TFRS 8 is only on a disclosure. Amendments to accounting standards, and financial reporting standards, interpretations of financial reporting standards and accounting standards, and new accounting standards that are relevant and are not yet effective: Amendments to accounting standards and financial reporting standards effective for the periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014 TAS 1 (Revised 2012) TAS 7 (Revised 2012) TAS 12 (Revised 2012) TAS 17 (Revised 2012) TAS 21 (Revised 2012) TAS 24 (Revised 2012) TAS 28 (Revised 2012) TAS 31 (Revised 2012) TAS 34 (Revised 2012) TAS 36 (Revised 2012) TAS 38 (Revised 2012) TFRS 2 (Revised 2012) TFRS 3 (Revised 2012) TFRS 8 (Revised 2012) TAS 1 (revised 2012) clarifies that conversion features that are at the holder’s discretion do not impact the classification of the liability component of the convertible instrument. TAS 1 also explains that, for each component of equity, an entity may present the breakdown of other comprehensive income either in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the financial statements. The Group’s management assessed that the revised standard has no impact to the Group’s financial statements. TAS 7 (revised 2012) clarifies that only expenditures that result in a recognized asset in the statement of financial position are eligible for classification as investing activities. The Group’s management assessed that the revised standard has no material impact to the Group’s financial statements. TAS 12 (revised 2012) amends an exception to the existing principle for the measurement of deferred tax assets or liabilities on investment property measured at fair value. TAS 12 currently requires an entity to measure the deferred tax relating to an asset depending on whether the entity expects to recover the carrying amount of the asset through use or sale. This amendment therefore adds the rebuttable presumption that the carrying amount of an investment property measured at fair value is entirely recovered through sale. As the result of the amendment, TSIC 21 - Income tax - recovery of revalued non-depreciable assets is incorporated in to TAS 12 (revised 2012). The Group’s management assessed that the revised standard has no material impact to the Group’s financial statements. TAS 17 (revised 2012) deletes the guidance for a lease of land with an indefinite useful life to be classified as an operating lease. The standard has been amended to clarify that when a lease includes both land and buildings, classification as a finance or operating lease is performed separately in accordance with TAS 17’s general principles. The Group’s management assessed that the revised standard has no material impact to the Group’s financial statements. TAS 21 (revised 2012) clarifies the method of recording cumulative amount of the exchange different relating to disposal or partial disposal of a foreign operation. This matter should be adjusted prospectively effective for the period begins on or after 1 January 2011. The Group’s management assessed that the Presentation of financial statements Statement of Cash Flows Income taxes Leases The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates Related party disclosures Investments in Associates Interest in Joint Ventures Interim financial reporting Impairment of assets Intangible Assets Share-based payment Business Combinations Operating Segments TV Direct Public Company Limited 133 revised standard has no impact to the Group’s financial statements. TAS 24 (revised 2012) removes the requirement for government-related entities to disclose details of all transactions with the government and other government-related entities. It also clarifies and simplifies the definition of related parties. The Group’s management assessed that the revised standard has no impact to the Group’s financial statements. TAS 28 (revised 2012) clarifies that when an entity moves from an equity accounting to cost accounting in the separate financial statements, the standard requires this to be adjusted retrospectively. An entity losses significant influence, the remaining interest of investment should be valued at fair value. This matter should be adjusted prospectively effectively for the period begins on or after 1 Jan 2011. The Group’s management assessed that the revised standard has no material impact to the Group’s financial statements. TAS 31 (revised 2012) clarifies that when an entity moves from an equity accounting to cost accounting in the separate financial statements, the standard requires this to be adjusted retrospectively. An entity losses of joint control in its interest in joint control, the remaining interest of investment should be valued at fair value. , This matter should be adjusted prospectively effectively for the period begins on or after 1 Jan 2011. The Group’s management assessed that the revised standard has no material impact to the Group’s financial statements. TAS 34 (revised 2012) emphasises the existing disclosure principles for significant event and transactions. Additional requirements cover disclosure of changes in fair value measurements (if significant), and the need to update relevant information from the most recent annual report. The Group’s management assessed that the revised standard has no material impact to the Group’s financial statements. TAS 36 (revised 2012) clarifies that goodwill being allocated to cash-generating units shall not be larger than an operating segment before aggregation as defined under TFRS 8 - Operating Segments. The Group’s management assessed that the revised standard has no material impact to the Group’s financial statements. TAS 38 (revised 2012) Clarifies that an intangible asset acquired in a business combination might be separable, but only together with a related contract, identifiable asset or liability. In such cases, intangible asset is recognised separately from goodwill, but together with related item. Intangible assets are recognised as a single asset provided the individual assets have similar useful lives. The Group’s management assessed that the revised standard has no impact to the Group’s financial statements. TFRS 2 (revised 2012) expands the scope to cover classification and accounting of both cash-settled and equity-settled share-based payment transactions in group situation. The Group’s management assessed that the revised standard has no material impact to the Group’s financial statements. TFRS 3 (revised 2012) amends the measurement required for non-controlling interests. The choice of measuring non-controlling interests at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets applies only to instruments that represent present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of net assets in the event of liquidation. All other component of non-controlling interests is measured at fair value unless another measurement basis is required by TFRS. The application guidance in TFRS 3 (revised 2012) also applies to all share-based payment transactions that are part of a business combination, including unreplaced and voluntarily replaced share-based payment awards. The Group’s management assessed that the revised standard has no material impact to the Group’s financial statements. TFRS 8 (revised 2012) clarifies that an entity is required to disclose a measure of segment assets only if the measure is regularly reported to the chief operating decision-maker. The Group’s management assessed that the revised standard has no impact to the Group’s financial statements. Interpretations of financial reporting standards and accounting standard effective for the periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014 TFRIC 1 Changes in existing decommissioning, restoration and similar liabilities TFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease TFRIC 13Customer Loyalty Programmes TFRIC 17Distributions of non-cash assets to owners TSIC 27 Evaluating the substance of transactions in the legal form of a lease TSIC 32 Intangible assets - Web Site Costs TFRIC 1 provides guidance on accounting for changes in the measurement of an existing decommissioning, restoration and similar liability that results from changes in estimated timing or amount of the outflow of resources embodying economic benefits required to settle the obligation, or a change in the discount rate. The Group’s management assessed that the interpretation has no material impact to the Group’s financial statements. TFRIC 4 requires the determination of whether an arrangement is or contains a lease to be based on the substance of the arrangement. It requires an assessment of whether: (a) fulfilment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets (the asset); and (b) the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset. The Group’s management assessed that the interpretation has no material impact to the Group’s financial statements. TFRIC 13 clarifies that where goods or services are sold together with a customer loyalty incentive (for example, loyalty points or free products), the arrangement is a multiple-element arrangement, and the consideration received or receivable from the customer is allocated between the components of the arrangement using fair values. The Group’s management is currently assessing the impact of applying this interpretation. TFRIC17 provides guidance on accounting for the distributions of non-cash assets to owners acting in their capacity as owners. The interpretation addresses the issues on the dividend payable recognition and measurement and the accounting for any difference between the carrying amount of the assets distributed and the carrying amount of the dividend payable when an entity settles the dividend payable. The Group’s management assessed that the interpretation has no impact to the Group’s financial statements. TSIC27 provides guidance on evaluating the substance of transactions in the legal form of a lease between the entity and the investor whether a series of transactions is linked and should be accounted for as one transaction and whether the arrangement meets the definition of a lease under TAS17 “Leases”. The accounting shall reflect the substance of the arrangement. The Group’s management assessed that the interpretation has no impact to the Group’s financial statements. TSIC 32 provides guidance on the internal expenditure on the development and operation of the entity web site for internal or external access. The entity shall comply with the requirements described in TAS38 “Intangible Assets”. The Group’s management assessed that the interpretation has no material impact to the Group’s financial statements. 2.3 Group Accounting - Investments in subsidiaries a) Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one-half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity including the potential voting rights from other companies. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. The Group uses the acquisition method of accounting to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment. Cost is adjusted to reflect changes in consideration arising from contingent consideration amendments. Cost also includes direct attributable costs of 134 TV Direct Public Company Limited 135 investment. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the net value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets and liabilities acquired is recorded as goodwill. If this is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains or loss on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. A list of the Group’s principal subsidiaries is set out in Note 12. b) Transactions and non-controlling interests The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests as transactions with equity owners of the Group. For purchases from non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity. When the Group ceases to have control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is re-measured to its fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate. 2.4 Foreign currency translation (a) Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each of the group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Thai Baht, which is the Group’s functional and the group’s presentation currency. (b) Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the profit or loss. When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognised in other comprehensive income, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognised in other comprehensive income. Conversely, when a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognised in profit and loss, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognised in profit and loss. (c) Group companies The results and financial position of all the group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyper-inflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: •Assets and liabilities for each statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that statement of financial position; •Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates; and •All resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity. 2.5 Cash and cash equivalents Cash comprises cash on hand, deposit held at call with banks but exclude deposits with banks that are held to maturity, certificates of deposit issued by commercial banks and financial institutions, and restricted deposits. Cash equivalents comprise short-term highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. In the consolidated and company statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. 2.6 Trade accounts receivable Trade accounts receivable are recognised initially at original invoice amount and subsequently measured at the remaining amount less any allowance for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts at the year-end. The amount of the allowance is the differences between the carrying amount of receivable and the amount expected to be collected. Bad debts are recognised in the profit or loss within selling & marketing costs. 2.7 Inventories Inventories are presented in the statement of financial position at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method. The cost of purchase comprises both the purchase price and costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the inventory, such as import duties and transportation charge, less all attributable discounts. Net realisable value is the estimate of the selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Allowance is made, where necessary, for obsolete, slow-moving, defective and excessive inventories. 2.8 Available-for-sale investments Investments intended to be held for an indefinite period of time, which may be sold in response to liquidity needs or changes in interest rates, are classified as available-for-sale; and are included in non-current assets unless management has expressed the intention of holding the investment for less than 12 months from the statement of financial position date or unless they will need to be sold to raise operating capital, in which case they are included in current assets. Available-for-sale investments are initially recognised at cost, which is equal to the fair value of consideration paid plus transaction cost. Available-for-sale investments are subsequently measured at fair value. The fair value of investments is based on quoted bid price at the close of business on the statement of financial position date by reference to the Stock Exchange of Thailand. The unrealised gains and losses of available for sale investments are recognised in equity. A test for impairment is carried out when there is a factor indicating that an investment might be impaired. If the carrying value of the investment is higher than its recoverable amount, impairment loss is charged to the statement of comprehensive income. On disposal of an investment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount is charged or credited to the statement of comprehensive income. When disposing of part of the Company’s holding of a particular investment in debt or equity securities, the carrying amount of the disposed part is determined by the weighted average carrying amount of the total holding of the investment. 136 2.9 Property, plant and equipment TV Direct Public Company Limited 137 Land is shown at fair value less allowance for impairment of asset. Fair value is based on valuations from external independent valuers which are conducted every 3 - 5 years. Buildings and equipments are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and allowance for impairment of assets. Initial cost included other direct cost related to assets acquisition. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred. Increases in the carrying amount arising on revaluation are credited to revaluation surplus of asset under the shareholders’ equity. Decreases that offset previous increases of the same asset are charged against the revaluation surplus; all other decreases are charged to the statement of comprehensive income. Each year the difference between depreciation based on the revalued carrying amount of the asset (the depreciation charged to the statement of comprehensive income) and depreciation based on the asset’s original cost is transferred from revaluation surplus to the retained earnings. Land has not been depreciated. Depreciation of other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to write off the cost of each asset, except land which is considered to have an indefinite useful life, to their residual value over the estimate useful lives as follows: Land improvements 5 Years Buildings20 Years Buildings improvements5 Years Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 5 Years Computer equipment 5 Years Motor vehicles5 Years The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period. Where the carrying amount of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, it is written down immediately to its recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are calculated by comparing net proceeds from disposal of assets with assets’ carrying amount and are taken into other income and other expenses, respectively, in the statement of comprehensive income. On disposal of revalued assets, the related revaluation surplus is transferred to retained earnings. 2.10 Intangible assets Computer software Costs associated with maintaining computer software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Group are recognised as intangible assets when the following criteria are met : •it is technically feasible to complete the software product so that it will be available for use; •management intends to complete the software product and use or sell it; •there is an ability to use or sell the software product; •it can be demonstrated how the software product will generate probable future economic benefits; •adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the software product are available; and •the expenditure attributable to the software product during its development can be reliably measured. Directly attributable costs that are capitalised as part of the software product include the software development employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads. Other development expenditures that do not meet these criteria are recognised as an expense as incurred. Development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an intangible asset in a subsequent period. Computer software development costs recognised as intangible assets are amortised using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, which does not exceed 5 years. 2.11 Impairment of assets Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example goodwill, are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows. Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. 2.12 Accounting for long-term leases - where a Group Company is the leasee Finance leases Leases of assets where the lessee has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the leased property or the present value of the minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated to principal and to finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the finance balance outstanding. The outstanding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other long-term payables. The interest element of the finance charge is charged to the profit or loss over the lease period. The assets acquired under finance lease is depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or lease term. Operating leases Leases where the lessor has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the statement of comprehensive income on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. 2.13 Borrowings Borrowings are recognised initially at the proceeds received (net of transaction costs incurred). In subsequent periods, borrowings are stated at amortised cost using the effective yield method. Any difference between proceeds (net transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income over the period of the borrowings. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent that there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of reporting date. 2.14 Current and deferred income taxes The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of reporting period in the countries where the company’s subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations 138 TV Direct Public Company Limited 139 in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred income tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising from differences between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profitor loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis. 2.15 Employee benefits Group companies operate various pension schemes. The schemes are generally funded through payments to trustee-administered funds. The Group has both defined benefit and defined contribution plans. •For defined contribution plans, the Group pays contributions to publicly or privately administered pension insurance plans on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. •A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that is not a defined contribution plan. Typically defined benefit plans define an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation. The liability recognised in the statement of financial position in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognised past-service costs. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using market yield of government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changed in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. Past-service costs are recognised immediately in income, unless the changes to the pension plan are conditional on the employees remaining in service for a specified period of time (the vesting period). In this case, the past-service costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The Group recognises, the obligation determined as at 31 December 2010 on a straight-line basis over a five-year period. The increase of the liability within the current year is fully recognised in the current period financial statements (statements of financial position and statement of comprehensive income). The practice is in compliance with the provision in the Thai Accounting Standard no.19 dealing with accounting for employee benefits. 2.16 Financial assets and financial liabilities Financial assets carried on the statement of financial position include cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable and other accounts receivable, short-term loans to other company, associate, and related person, certain parts of other current assets and restricted deposits at financial institutions and other non-current assets. Financial liabilities carried on the statement of financial position include short-term loans from financial institutions, trade accounts payable and other accounts payable certain parts of other current liabilities, long-term loans from financial institutions and liability under finance lease agreements. The particular recognition methods adopted are disclosed in the individual accounting policy statements associated with each item. 2.17 Provisions - general Provisions are recognised when: the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense. 2.18 Share-based payment The Group operates a number of equity-settled, share-based compensation plans, under which the entity receives services from employees as consideration for equity instruments (options) of the Group. The fair value of options on the grant date is recognised as expense over the vesting period. When the options are exercised, the proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium when the options are exercised. 2.19 Revenue recognition Revenue comprises the fair value for consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and service net of output tax, rebates and discounts. Revenue from sale of goods is recognised when significant risks and reword of ownership of goods are transferred to the buyer, services income is recognised as revenue in the period in which they are rendered. Other revenues earned by the Company are recognised on the following basis: Interest income is recognised on a time proportion basis, taking account of the principal outstanding and the effective rate over the period to maturity, when it is determined that such income will accrue to the Company. 2.20 Finance costs Finance costs comprise interest expense from bank loans and liabilities under finance lease contracts. 2.21 Dividends Dividends and interim dividends are recorded in the consolidated and company’s financial statements in the period in which they are approved by the shareholders and board of directors, respectively. 2.22 Segment reporting Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors that makes strategic decisions. 140 3 Financial risk management 3.1 Financial risk factors TV Direct Public Company Limited 141 The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance. Risk management is carried out by the finance department under policies approved by the Board of Directors. The finance department identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close co-operation with the Group’s operating units. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment excess liquidity. 3.1.1 Foreign exchange risk The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations. The Group also hedges the foreign currency exposure of its contract commitments to purchase certain goods from overseas. The forward contracts used in its programme mature in 1 - 4 months or less, consistent with the related purchase commitments. 3.1.2 Interest rate risk The Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates. All interest rate derivative transactions are subject to approval by the Finance Director before execution. The Group has no significant interest-bearing assets. 3.1.3 Credit risk The Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk. The Group has policies in place to ensure that sales of products and services are made to customers with an appropriate credit history. Derivative counterparties and cash transactions are limited to high credit quality financial institutions. The Group has policies that limit the amount of credit exposure to one financial institution. 3.1.4 Liquidity risk Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities, and the ability to close out market positions. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying business, the Group Treasury aims at maintaining flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available. 3.2 Fair value estimation When a financial instrument is traded in an active market, its quoted market price provides the best evidence of fair value. The quoted market price for an asset held or liability to be issued is usually the current bid price and, for an asset to be acquired or liability held, it is the current offer or asking price. When the current bid and offer prices are unavailable, the price of the most recent transaction may provide evidence of the current fair value provided that there has not been a significant change in economic circumstances between the transaction date and the reporting date. When the Group has matching asset and liability positions, it may appropriately use mid-market prices as a basis for establishing fair values. When there is infrequent activity in a market, the market is not well established or small volumes are traded relative to the number of trading units of a financial instrument to be valued, quoted market prices may not be indicative of the fair value of the instrument. In these circumstances, as well as when a quoted market price is not available, estimation techniques may be used to determine the fair value with sufficient reliability to satisfy the Group. Techniques that are well established in financial markets include reference to the current market value of another instrument that is substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models. In applying discounted cash flow analysis, an enterprise uses a discount rate equal to the prevailing market rate of interest for financial instruments having substantially the same terms and characteristics, including the creditworthiness of the debtor, the remaining term over which the contractual interest rate is fixed, the remaining term for repayment of the principal and the currency in which payments are to be made. The fair values less any estimated credit adjustments for financial assets and liabilities with a maturity of less than one year are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate available to the Group/Company for similar financial instruments. Information on the fair values of borrowings is included in Note 39. 4 Critical accounting estimates and judgements Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are outlined below. (a) Employee benefit obligations The present value of the employee benefit obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net cost (income) for employee benefits include the discount rate. Any changes in these assumptions will have an impact on the carrying amount of employee benefit obligations. The Group determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year. This is the interest rate that should be used to determine the present value of estimated future cash outflows expected to be required to settle the employee benefit obligations. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the Group considers the market yield of government bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related employee benefit liability. Other key assumptions for employee benefit obligations are based in part on current market conditions. Additional information is disclosed in Note 25. 5 Capital risk management The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, and issue new shares of sell assets to reduce debt. 6 Adopt new accounting standard and change in accounting policy Adopt new accounting standard During the year ended 31 December 2013, the Company has adopted the TAS 12 that is effective in Thailand since 1 January 2013. The Group has adopted these standards by applying retrospective adjustments. The effects of the changes to the Company’s statement of financial position as at 31 December 2012 and statement of comprehensive income for year ended 31 December 2012 and unappropriated retained earnings as at 1 January 2012 and 2013 are as follows: 142 TV Direct Public Company Limited 143 Consolidated As previously Increase After reported (decrease) adjustment Baht Baht Baht Retained earnings - unappropriated as at 1 Jnuary 2012 35,690,22310,660,62546,350,848 Statement of financial position as at 31 December 2012 - Deferred income tax assets (net) - 3,469,158 3,469,158 - Surplus from land revelation (net) 31,645,490 (6,329,098) 25,316,392 - Gain on measurement on available-for-sale investments (net) 59,178 (11,836) 47,342 Statement of comprehensive income for the year-ended 31 December 2012 - Income tax 26,914,238 850,533 27,764,771 - Profit for the year 47,923,535 (850,533) 47,073,002 - Total comprehensive income for the year 49,047,162 (862,369) 48,184,793 - Basic earnings per share 0.1476 (0.0025) 0.1451 Retained earnings - unappropriated as at 1 January 2013 30,210,080 9,810,092 40,020,172 Company As previously Increase After reported (decrease) adjustment Baht Baht Baht Retained earnings - unappropriated as at 1 January 2012 43,521,47510,404,65853,926,133 Statement of financial position as at 31 December 2012 - Deferred income tax assets (net) 3,281,549 3,281,549 - Surplus from land revelation (net) 31,645,490 (6,329,098) 25,316,392 - Gain on measurement on available-for-sale investments (net) 2,265 (453) 1,812 Statement of comprehensive income for the year-ended 31 December 2012 - Income tax 26,914,238 793,558 27,707,796 - Profit for the year 85,544,875 (793,558) 84,751,317 - Total comprehensive income for the year 85,547,140 (794,011) 84,753,129 - Basic earnings per share 0.2534 (0.0023) 0.2511 Retained earnings - unappropriated as at 1 January 2013 73,767,938 9,611,100 83,379,038 Change in accounting policy During the year ended 31 December 2013, the Group has changed the accounting policy of employee benefits related to the recognition of actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changed in actuarial assumptions which previously charged or credited to profit or loss in the period in which they arise to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. The Group’s management assessed that the change in accounting policy has no impact to the Group’s operations as the Group never recognised actuarial gains and losses. 144 TV Direct Public Company Limited Segment assets Unallocated assets Consolidated total assets Segment liabilities Unallocated liabilities Consolidated total liabilities incident at a werehouse Other income Selling and administration Other expenses Finance costs Income tax Net profit for the year Sales of goods Cost of goods sold Gross profit Service income Cost of service Gross profit Total gross profit Net compensation income from fire 7 Segment information Certain part of the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the years ended 31 December (Baht) Direct marketing General marketing Services Others Total 2013 2012 2013 2012 2013 2012 2013 2012 2013 2012 31,890,703 28,186,246 33,646,491 3,022,423 2,599,737 71,671,955 80,908,455 11,048,992 12,771,524 29,414,293 1,223,273,966 920,791,489 1,294,945,921 1,001,699,944 552,876,289 663,466,066 552,876,289 663,466,066 19,978,785 12,195,294 (1,280,354,494) (1,167,729,846) (326,678) (8,962,215) (15,593,911) (16,948,946) (16,203,152) (27,764,771) 37,915,601 47,073,002 Certain part of the consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the years ended 31 December (Baht) Direct marketing General marketing Services Others Total 2013 2012 2013 2012 2013 2012 2013 2012 2013 2012 1,558,971,870 1,607,398,226 375,939,718 365,585,496 -
